California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Raymundo B., In re, 203 Cal.App.3d 1447, 250 Cal.Rptr. 812 (Cal. App. 1988):

" ' "For an appeal to engage the consideration of an appellate court, it must be brought up on a record which, in addition to being otherwise formally sufficient, shows the error calling for correction. Such error is never presumed, but must be affirmatively shown, and the burden is upon the appellant to present a record showing it, any uncertainty in the record in that respect being resolved against him." ' " (People v. Green (1979) 95 Cal.App.3d 991, 1001, 157 Cal.Rptr. 520.)
